Both are driven by the protagonist's love interest passing away and then becoming inhibited by a supernatural entity. Both work well as a combination of horror and romance as their main genres, while having an overarching mystery relating to the ghost entities and how their supernatural situations have come to be. I think a main difference lies within the protagonists, Yoshiki seemed more practical and apprehensive while Yuri is more naive and unhealthily obsessive.

Both great horror-esque romantic comedies where the love interest passes away and the protagonist is the only one that can see them (at the start at least) as a ghost

on it's face they might not seem similar but both works essentially revolve around pure yet complex, complicated, and twisted emotions that two hurt people feel for one another and how that hurt colors their love.

Both titles are supernatural horror romances where ghosts may not be inherently evil but they will still cause trouble. More than just horror as they often use it as way to critique or examine relationships and society in general.

Both have a very similar artstyle, scene pacing, and tone. Aono-kun uses these for a more dramatic storyline while Mitama Security leans more comedic, though there's substantial overlap. 
reportRecommended by Druser
- Both stories are about the entire cast coping with the death of a character and the ripple effect it has on the community - Common themes of obsession, abuse, and jealousy - Love triangle between ghost/living partner/a close connection of the ghost - Active mystery about the mechanics of the supernatural world and character's having to figure out just how the ghosts that haunt them work

Aono-kun was recommended by Chainsaw Man author and when you read both you understand why. They both got this edgy/quirky/weird vibe and humor. They don't fear depicting gore things and adress feelings and relationships (as lover, family or as friends) with some kind of twisted logic. They're good at surprising the audience and not letting the reader know where the story is going. It could have been any of Fujimoto's work and not only CSM because they're really on the same wavelength.

Weird ! They're both so weird !! Both are depicting a strong romance between a "naive" girl and a guy out of this world. The art is cute in both and contrast nicely the obscure and horror things that are happening to the couple that is trying to keep alive their relationship despite the oddities they're facing. Both are quite funny and got this ambiguous feeling of uneasiness considering the twisted vision of love of the protagonists.

* ghosts! * Actual sense/rules/science about ghosts! * properly written interesting characters: both leads and the episodic characters * bitter-sweet by default * both can be heart-warming at times and truly scary af * both are exceptionally well written, but somehow overlooked, works regardless of genre

Both are psychological stories with strong female characters who learn to save themselves while dealing with abuse, suicide attempts and difficult and toxic relationships. 
reportRecommended by Kiiroi
* both are romance + ghost story genres * love triangle between two guys: one living another a ghost * only one character sees the ghost, which creates a special/strained relationship * good exploration of ghosts: why they stay, how dangerous it is long term and how to help them move * well written works regardless of genre * solid artwork that works for the story. No obvious useless fan-service Natsuyuki Rendezvous is not so much horror and more about romance, but it still does have some spooky moments.
